Hi Guys,

I"m trying to copy a CD with disk utility but i'm coming to grief.

The apple instructions say:

# Insert the CD or DVD disc in your computer's optical drive and select it in the list of disks and volumes.
# Choose File > New > "Disk Image from (name of disc)."
# Type a name for the disk image and choose an image format.

My problem is that when i go File > New i only have the options for "Blank disk image" and "new disk image from folder"... "Disk image from (select a device)" is grayed out.

Is something wrong??

Thanks

Looks like it must be a problem with the type of CD you are trying to image. Disk utility cannot copy audio Cd's only Data CD's/DVD's. Presumably audio Cd's would be copy protected.

Cheers.
